Thailand's colourful coral reefs, World War 2 wrecks in Truk Lagoon, the reefs and mangroves of the Seychelles Islands and the coral reefs of Belize are four diving projects being launched by environmental charity Earthwatch this year. Divers are invited to join its research teams for two-week periods to monitor the health of reefs and determine the effects of destructive fishing practices, the aquarium trade, and pollution. Prices range from£1000-?1500, excluding flights, and Earthwatch says this all goes to cover costs and funding the research.
